The latest-generation Nissan Qashqai has touched down on Aussie shores and will give consumers a new option of the booming compact SUV market.

Four variants of the Qashqai will be offered in the local market, consisting of the ST, ST+, ST-L, and Ti. Customer deliveries will commence later this year. Powering all four versions is the same 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that now delivers 110 kW (147 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque, representing gains of 4 kW (5.4 hp) and 50 Nm (36.8 lb-ft) over the previous-generation SUV.

Coupled to this upgraded engine is a newly-developed X-Tronic automatic transmission. Nissan Australia says the 2023 Qashqai can return a combined 6.1 l/100 km (38 U.S. mpg) over the combined cycle.
